Whether in your head of written down, to do lists can become overwhelming very easily. The whole point go a to do list is to make it easier to get through necessary tasks, so why does it have to be such hard work?!
The answer... it doesn't.
Keep reading to discover how you can make that list more manageable for a more rewarding outcome.
STEP 1 - ACCEPT YOUR LIMITS
You may have washing piled up to the ceiling, a food shop to do and a thousand other things... but it is essential to your mental wellbeing to know when to stop. You don't have super powers, you cannot do it all, and that's okay! Set out a realistic amount of tasks to complete within the time you have available (and don't forget to factor in some down time too!).
STEP 2 - PRIORITISE
Figure out which tasks are the most time sensitive and get them done first. Everything else can wait, and if you do get some of the less important things done it will feel like more of an ahievement!
STEP 3 - LET IT GO
Starting to feel the burn out creeping up? Try dropping a few chores to grab some time for self care. This could be as simple as sitting on the sofa with a hot cuppa or doing some yoga if that's your thing. Anything for some guilt free you time.
STEP 4 - REFLECT
How was your day? What did you achieve? What could you have done differently that would have made your day easier? Analyse your day to be better prepared for next time.
